Like a mentor watching their student rise to success, DOST Northern Mindanao is proud of Heavenโs Bakehaus for turning small beginnings into a big success story.
From a humble โฑ5,000 capital and a team of three in 2012, Heavenโs Bakehaus has grown into a nationally recognized MSME. Owned and managed by Mr. Marc T. Claro and his wife Roly Ann, this favorite bakeshop in Iligan City is more than just a business โ it has become a livelihood platform for out-of-school youth, working students, single mothers, persons with disabilities, and senior citizens. Their signature โPiaya de Iliganโ has since become a symbol of both local pride and opportunity.
With the support of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) โ Phase I in September 2016 and Phase II in March 2022 โ Heavenโs Bakehaus achieved remarkable milestones: securing its FDA License to Operate, boosting sales, extending product shelf life, and diversifying its offerings with DOST-FNRI technologies.
In 2023, Heavenโs Bakehaus earned national recognition by winning the SETUP PRAISE Award and the Most Agile Enterprise. Building on this momentum, the company reached an even greater milestone this year: winning the Presidential Awards for Outstanding MSMEs (Micro Enterprise Category), conferred at Malacaรฑan Palace on August 18, 2025. Organized by the MSMED Council pursuant to the Magna Carta for MSMEs, this prestigious award honors enterprises that exemplify business excellence, resilience, ingenuity, and meaningful contributions to community and industry growth.
Today, Heavenโs Bakehaus continues to pay success forward by uplifting fellow MSMEs through its pasalubong center, proudly carrying other DOST-assisted brands such as Dackieโs Food Products, Pepayโs Food Products, and Margeurieโs House of Goodies.
The DOST Northern Mindanao family celebrates this well-deserved victory with you, Heavenโs Bakehaus โ a true example of how science, technology, and innovation can transform lives and communities.
